Suggest Treatment For Loose Yellow Colored Stools In A Child
My 2 year old daughter has had a "viral infection" for the last 2-3 weeks. Her food intake has dropped to almost none existent although she is eating some portions of fruit (several oranges) and still taking on plenty fluids. The last 3-4 days her morning nappy has been full of loose yellow coloured stools.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It is usual to have mild diarrhoea when lots of fruits are taken, due to high content of Fructose in the fruits and juices. It causes osmotic diarrhoea and pulls in water and fluids into the intestines which is the reason for diarrhoea. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
